Description

(Oscar, writer, 1854-1900) Autograph Letter signed to Mrs. Howe, 4pp., sm. 4to, Augusta, Georgia, 6th July [1882], on his tour of America, addressed to his hostess at Newport, "I write to you from the beautiful, passionate, ruined South, the land of magnolias and music, of roses and romance; picturesque too in her failure to keep pace with your keen northern pushing intellect; living chiefly on credit, and on the memory of some crushing defeats. And I have been to Texas, right to the heart of it, and stayed with Jeff. Davis at his plantation (how fascinating all failures are!)", folds, slightly browned. Oscar Wilde in America.
